Coordinate Ascora field coverage with a Telegram poll
Turn a staffing check into one quick Telegram vote, with the Ascora context your team needs to respond.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Send Poll
Send a native poll to a telegram chat using the bot api.
Why this helps
Coordinating field coverage can create long chat threads and leave a founder unsure who has responded.
- Collect a focused team response in a native Telegram poll.
- Reduce back-and-forth about field coverage.
- Keep the poll grounded in staffing information Ascora actually returns.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Ascora and Telegram once in Notis.
- 2Create an automation in plain language or in Automations, New Automation.
- 3Ask Notis to review available Ascora field staffing context and post a concise Telegram poll to coordinate coverage.
- 4Pick a recurring schedule as the trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real staffing example and confirm the poll question and options are accurate.
Questions about this workflow
Can Notis know which staff are available?
Only if that information is returned by Ascora or supplied to the workflow. The poll should not imply availability that the data does not establish.
Can the poll assign staff automatically?
This workflow collects a Telegram poll response. It does not assign field staff in Ascora because no Ascora action is included here.
Can I start the poll on demand?
This example uses a recurring schedule. A webhook-triggered version is possible if the instruction and required context are supplied.
